only monsters

Chapter 1670 No. 287: The Shepherd's Secret Continuation

Tianmen City is a good place, and what makes it good is its true diversity.

Compared to Jiemen District, which has a long history and therefore has traditions that are worth respecting, worth preserving, and worth giving way to new things, Tianmen City is just as it was introduced before:
The main feature is the ever-changing world.

It also focuses on the vast world.

As the port with the most "Sky Gates" and the outermost trade port in the Federation, the residents of the City of Sky Gate are bound to be mostly time travelers and aliens. As for the locals...

Of course there are locals as well. After all, the history of the city here is enough for the original colonists to give birth to several generations of offspring. But whether these children are willing to stay here when they grow up - this is another question in itself.

As a trading port and the location of countless gates to other worlds, there is no obstacle at all to external development.

It is more like a strong impetus: until now, Tianmen City's support policies still have a place for foreign trade and exploration of other worlds.

"So there are actually quite a few people here who live the life of the Infinite Stream protagonist?"

"…If that's what you think, I have no objection."

After thinking about what "Infinite Flow" was, Omar rolled his eyes speechlessly, thinking that the niche term originated from time travelers had long been replaced by "Zhu Tian Flow". This guy seemed to be stuck in that time.

In the culture of time travelers that is always undergoing ultra-fast metabolism, people like Bize may only be able to mix in a very small circle.

Whether it is possible to find a substitute before the circle deteriorates is really a pessimistic question, but perhaps the parties involved do not consider or care about it at all.

"That's true. I am envious, but also afraid..." He seemed to have thought about it for a moment, then shrank his neck, "Forget it."

"What kind of idiot is this who talks to himself about single-player infinite flow? My future life as an online game writer is pretty satisfying!"

“…You can form a team to explore other worlds.”

Too lazy to point out the loneliness and anxiety revealed by the other party's thinking habits, nor too lazy to complain about what the "future online game life" was. Omar just symbolically complained about the beginning and then continued with his selection.

He is looking for a book.

In a city that is changing with each passing day and becoming more and more diverse, there is naturally knowledge that is unavailable anywhere else.

In other words, information.

Theories, literature, biographies of alien places, alien planets, and even alien worlds... The Tianmen City Library contains a wide variety of books. You can always find the books that interest you here, just like Bize, who even keeps trying all kinds of strange book titles on the search page of this library and then smiles.

He seemed to have mistaken that page for some Dongyan online novel and Far East light novel website. Various Chinese characters and Japanese kept switching, and from time to time he could hear two indescribable strange laughs, which made Omar feel a little regretful.

Even after changing his appearance and disguising himself, trying his best to prevent others from recognizing the complex identity of Omer Linton, he would still stand out because of this guy's existence.

Not to mention anything else, just the white-haired and cat-eared librarian in the literature department in the distance has cast his eyes over more than once.

The wrinkles between his eyebrows that deepened every time he looked at them were like a countdown of his decreasing patience. Omar couldn't help but start a countdown in his heart. It was also a subtle habit that he had developed over a long period of time.

He subconsciously recorded and calculated the other party's patience, psychological expectations, and occasionally felt happy about the moment when that limit was broken... Although he had just shown such a bad taste at the Chasing Light Club during the Dream Cup midway match, he had indeed kept it secret for a long time before that.

But we can't completely say that it's his bad taste, right?

After all, it was really time-consuming.

Although he tried his best to convince the other party and wait until they believed him temporarily before revealing the truth - this approach was an appetizer to seek justice for the two girls under his command, but as he said in the past, his motives in many things were not pure. In a sense, this was also a professional's countermeasure technique.

The more you like to observe, analyze and reason, the more you should consciously disguise yourself to increase the cost of being observed, analyzed and reasoned.

Some small things, which seem to be unnecessary, are often the perfect obstacles for some people to go crazy about right and wrong in front of the screen.

Just like the librarian who glanced over here just now, that glance was a look that made Omar feel particularly familiar.

Is it called...Buqi Shixian?
I don't know if it's a real name or a pseudonym. When I think about this being the City of Heaven's Gate, there's a high chance that the other person is a resident of another world. Omer is not unacceptable to this name. It's a different world, so it's not strange to call it anything. Other people may not be able to get used to it, but the trainer should be able to get used to it.

Otherwise, take a look at the names of the horse racing girls in your school.jpg
Omer often wondered if the teachers at Tresen had ever looked forward to the student list each year, but such a sense of curiosity was short-lived and not worth mentioning. It didn't matter whether the horse girl was called Super Little Bay or Super Stream, or Zhuzheng Opera King or Good Opera. What mattered was that you might be able to find different angles to get information from the different names.

The male librarian with a pair of cat ears can also retrieve the official records from the mark "Buqi Shixian" on his work badge, and can also retrieve more information of unknown authenticity from the word "Fengxing Julang" mentioned in the information, which sounds more like a person's name.

Omar's busyness at the moment is based on the same principle.

Although people's stereotype of libraries is a pile of physical books, apart from obscure knowledge, in the sense of intelligence, it is completely synonymous with outdated and old, and has nothing to do with intelligence gathering places.

However, the library in Tianmen City is a functional building that can be printed on tourism brochures as a major feature of the promotion.

The main feature of an overly automated, information-based and diversified library is the rapid updating of content.

Music scores from hundreds of years ago may be updated, books from hundreds of years ago may be updated, and magazines from a few weeks ago may also be updated - all knowledge that can be included is collected here, and this so-called "all that can be included" is a very floating standard. You can see some books that are out of the ordinary here, as well as some suspected unofficial history and folk science that you don't know whether they are true or not, but you can feel that the collection threshold is very high.

There are local ones and there are also ones from other worlds.

They may disappear the next day or even after a few hours, proving their value in some sense.

Or it may have always been there, waiting for you to spread it and make it disappear.

Among them, there were also some news scraps that no one read, which made Bi Ze sigh from the beginning: "How come there are such things? This must be the kind of god who can publish biological teaching materials on E station!"

But this guy was originally here with his bionic girlfriend to use the vehicle and save on travel expenses. Compared to an efficient person like Omer who was busy with important personal matters, he was naturally much more relaxed and casual.

So he would complain, sigh, and laugh at anything he saw at the library's service window, but Omar kept clicking, swiping, and looking. Even his complaints were just symbolic attempts to help him, as his actual focus was still on the information about the monster industry in Tianmen City and the progress and trends recorded in various magazines.

Yes.

In Tianmen City, a place that is nicely called a gathering place of heroes, or a mixed bag of good and bad people, or even more bluntly called a gathering place of demons, an organization like the Beast Cult can completely hide in the city and conceal its own information related to monsters among the vast amount of monster-related information.

It is not impossible to get the information of those guys from it. After all, the practice of hiding in the city is equivalent to putting the answer on the surface of the puzzle, and you can always find it out if you are determined.

Not to mention that he used Belstarmon's data tracking to obtain the whereabouts of the black cardinal who had contacted the church members.

Instead of rushing in and alerting the enemy, you will definitely gain something by tracing the network of relationships radiating from it.

But that is actually quite time-consuming.

There is a more efficient and low-cost method at the moment, which is to understand and analyze the trends of local monster-related industries.

With the results, he can use his experience and connections as a promoter of the monster industry in Jiemen District to visit and seek help, relying on local and industry bigwigs to screen for him. This is efficient and allows him to be a hands-off boss. Before that, if there is an opportunity for someone to intervene and facilitate the cooperative development between Jiemen District and Tianmen City, then the efficiency can be further improved.

He was looking for such an opportunity at the moment, but while searching, an idea came to his mind.

It's not a very clear idea, and it goes in the direction of putting the cart before the horse. Its core is that 'regardless of whether there is an opportunity or not, we can rely on the Beast Cult to establish cooperative relations with local companies.'

Considering the Beast Cult's members who lack the awareness of abiding by laws and regulations, let alone the three universal values, this is obviously feasible. But at the same time, Tianmen City is a place with relatively good public security, but is actually very uneasy.

Even though the cases involving monsters should have a high amount of losses, criminal cases alone would not cause much trouble. It is worth mentioning that even if it is not as bad as the "case that could destroy most of Tianmen City" that Omer encountered when he came last time, it should be the type that can shake one or two districts and make the local news section rank it in the top five bulletin boards.

Therefore, this idea is not yet clear. Even if there is human intervention, or even the "herding of sinners" that he is most familiar with, he still cannot find the direction, let alone the appropriate method to relatively reduce the area and degree of damage.

So his busyness will last visibly longer.

He thought that more basic intelligence was needed.
